I grew up with horses and dogs but having gone to university I was unable to continue with horses and dogs became my main passion. I own several border collies who are first and foremost pets but also are trained and compete in agility and herding. I have completed dog training courses and hold the Agility Club of Great Britain Instructors Certificate. I have experience of handling multiple dogs of a variety of breeds. I also hold an animal first aid certificate and Level 3 Dog Grooming Certification from Hartpury University. I worked for many years in education and this included teaching BTEC Level 2 AnimalCare to students. I therefore have experience of looking after, working with and caring for a wide range of animals including sheep, pigs, goats, alpacas, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons and water dragons (and I am sure a few more that I may have forgotten!) I left education to pursue my passion to work with animals. Forest Tails Pet Services offers dog walking, dog grooming, emmi-pet teeth care/cleaning, pet taxi and drop ins to feed and care for your pets. I am also willing to care for larger animals e.g. horses whilst you are away on holiday. I have a current DBS certificate and I am fully insured through Protectivity and have a crated, air conditioned van for transporting your pets safely.

Initial consultation (includes toothbrush head) £40
*Please note the initial consultation will determine whether the Emmi-pet is suitable for your dog or whether the dogs teeth need to be seen by a vet. The Emmi-pet is not suitable for dogs who require more invasive work such as scraping to remove tartar. These types of proceedures must still be performed by a vet (in this scenario the cost of the brush will be refunded after the initial consultation). Following the consultation if the dog is deemed suitable for treatment, two types of treatment will be recommended: Cleaning or maintenance.
Maintenance/cleaning £22 per treatment or 4 treatments for £80 (these 4 treatments must be used within 12 weeks from purchase)
Package which includes the initial consultation, tooth brush head and 9 further maintenance/cleaning sessions £210 (these treatments must be uses within 20 weeks from purchase)
